<p>Any suggestions?</p>

3

<p>It’s a reach right now. Raise the ACT to 27-28 and you’d have a much better chance.</p>

4

<p>Take the SAT and retake the ACT. The class of 2013’s mean ACT was a 30 and GPA was 3.7. I was accepted with a 3.7 and around an 1800.
Boost your scores and work hard on your GPA first semester.
Do you have any leadership positions in those clubs? That would help.
Community service?</p>

5

<p>Is the 3.7 weighted or unweighted?</p>

<p>I am pretty sure I can get a 2100 on the SAT and a 30 on the ACT.</p>

<p>In the clubs I do not hold a leadership position.</p>

<p>and about 100 hours of community service.</p>

6

<p>Both 3.7s are weighted I believe.</p>

<p>It’s early in the school year, try to get a leadership position. If you can’t, find a service group you can be a leader in. I find that it really counts.</p>

7

<p>Okay, thank you for the information, I’ll try to find a leadership position.</p>

8

<p>Final bump, thanks for the input thus far.</p>
